There was some racing at the Brickyard on Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't the kind Indianapolis 500 officials were hoping for as the race was delayed until 4:30pm local time due to a wave of thunderstorms passing over the Hoosier State. Fans were asked to take shelter, and while most took cover, a small group of attendees were seen racing each other on foot along the concourse in Indianapolis. Track president J. Douglas Boles said it would take track drying equipment about two hours to dry the 2.5-mile oval, but the expectation is that the race would begin roughly four hours late and all 200 laps would be completed before dark.

Michael Jordan, the NBA's most well-known basketball player, is best known for his legendary work on the basketball court, but there is another, much different, sport near to his heart. The 60-year-old is a huge fan of NASCAR and can be seen on trackside with some of the best names in the sport, so what better to bring his wife Yvette Prieto than a night celebrating the iconic series. Last week, MJ and Prieto, 44, spent the evening in Nashville on a rare date night to celebrate the start of the NASC Ally 400 race weekend.

Kyle Larson, the once-disgraced NASCAR racer who returned to the sport to win a points title in 2021, will race the Indianapolis 500 next year with McLaren Racing in a joint effort with his new team owner Rick Hendrick. Larson's aspiration is finally a possibility thanks to McLaren and Hendrick's surprise announcement on Thursday. On Memorial Day weekend, he will also be the fifth driver to run 'The Double' in Charlotte, North Carolina, on the same day. The other NASCAR drivers to compete in both categories are John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Kurt Busch. Larson, who was chastised for using the word n-word on a live broadcast, has long said he wants to compete in the Indy 500. However, he did not have a viable Chevrolet opportunity for the 2023 run of 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,' (which took place in May).

Coy Gibbs, the co-owner of Nascar's Joe Gibbs Racing, died at the age of 49 just hours after his son Ty, 20, won the Nascar Xfinity Series championship, beating his uncle Ty, 20, 20, which left him and his mother. Ty Gibbs won the championship at Phoenix Raceway in Arizona on Saturday night and was supposed to compete again in the Nascar Cup Series finale for Kurt Busch on Sunday, but he was forced to leave due to a family emergency. Joe Gibbs Racing revealed that the racer's father died in his sleep just hours later, on Sunday morning.

With its latest Next Gen car, NASCAR's most popular driver said Saturday that the sport has taken an unacceptable step backward in safety, a rare public showing of opinion by Chase Elliott. As they enter Sunday's playoff race at Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR's top drivers have effectively turned into an enraged crowd. Alex Bowman and Kurt Busch have both been concussed, and Cody Shane Ware will compete with a broken foot. In NASCAR's latest Next Gen car, all three drivers were injured. Since it debuted at the start of the year, the car went through a honeymoon phase to expand the racing and level the playing field. And although the Next Gen had some bugs in the first seven months, the car is now having serious issues during the playoff portion of the season.
